Meet The Team
Our team is the heart of everything we do. At Hill’s Kitchen, we believe that world-class catering is only possible through a collective of passionate, creative, and highly skilled professionals. Each member of our team is hand-selected not only for their culinary expertise but for their commitment to genuine hospitality and the “yes is the answer” philosophy. From our executive chefs to our attentive service staff, we operate with a shared energy to ensure every event—from the boardrooms of Salt Lake City to the mountain retreats of Park City—is seamless and memorable. We don’t just execute a checklist; we anticipate your needs and obsess over the details, bringing a restaurant-quality level of craft and care to every guest we serve.
Brooks always dreamed of restaurant ownership, a vision he realized here in Park City. Following a career at Montage Hotels, Zoom, and Peter Merriman’s in Maui, he now brings that expertise to every event. Brooks enjoys life in the Utah mountains with his wife, children, and their dog.
